This was a 2010 report based on a survey that they did of 300 residents in City of Vancouver on types of sports, etc. they often undertake. (City of Vancouver population = 550,000+. Metro Vancouver is over 1 million.)

Over 70 respondents had children. They were asked about their children's common sports activities that they undertook often. Most popular included: hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming.

Biking rated lower.
But hey, as long as children active in whatever sports/physical activity, that's good too.

As a child/teen, I would have listed: biking, softball (latter I played regularily in teams/games organized by ourselves. No adult around to referee us on playground.)
